The cards are beautiful and come in a good quality case. The first 20 minutes of the two-hour video
explains the marking system using an enlargement to see the marks. This deck has 12 cards requiring
only six markings.
I have 20-20 vision and am a seasoned marksman. I own just about every
marked deck ever invented; this marking system is by far the least functional.
There isn't
a logical system to match the cards with the marks. You would have to memorize the six tarot cards
that do not have numerical or alphabetical value, with six abstract markings. Throughout the video,
he goes to great lengths to explain how to work around this design flaw.
One of the
requirements to read these cards is to be in a well-lit room. Many times, Tarot cards are read, in
a dimly lit, mysterious room.
To perform this trick, you must be able to read the cards.
You can't read the cards without being obvious. Unfortunately, this trick has no practical value.
The inventor of this product could take a lesson from Penguin Magic's Marked Cards. To
quote Rick Lax "NOBODY ever gets caught because a spectator sees the marks; magicians ONLY get
caught when they STARE AT THE MARKS FOR TOO LONG"
Almost a great product.
